Time travel au. Where Arthur isn't stuck in the future but can catch glimpses of it through a mirror or spiritual lake or smth.
Only to see Merlin?!?! On his throne!!!!?????
And he has magic!!!!????
What follows is a disastrous attempt of Arthur's to find out when and how Merlin will take over the throne or end Arthur's live. Ignoring that he sort of thinks that it suits Merlin, Arthur knows Merlin isn't evil yet. So what can, what WILL drive Merlin to do such a thing?
It takes him a long time to find out that the Merlin in his vision is his husband.
Two sides of the same coin
THAT WAS SUCH A ROMANTIC CONVERSATION FUCK.
The way Merlin was FUCKING BEGGING to go with Arthur.. HOW IS THIS NOT A FANFIC.
Arthur was speaking to Merlin as he would a lover too. That could've been from a gay movie and no one would be the wiser.
In the scene, Arthur's face is so close to Merlin's and right before Lancelot calls them, Arthur IS LOOKING SO INTENTLY AT MERLIN WITH THEIR FACES INCHES APART.
